Two corrupt files in /system32; cant' replace
Hello; I am new to sevenforums.com and this is my 1st post (hope it is in the right place). Here is the problem: I had a SMART drive error, so I performed a backup and image before the drive failed. I replaced the drive, put the image onto the new drive, and everything appears OK with 1 exception: when I try to open a command prompt, I get an error message. I ran FC \scannow, which told me I had two corrupt files: cmd.exe and elsTrans.dll. When I looked at /system32, both files have a size of 0 bytes. I then looked at the image and the files had size values, so I copied them to the desktop. When I click on the desktop cmd.exe file the command prompt opens, so I then tried to copy them into /system32, and cannot do it. I did try reading and following similar posts in the forums,but so far, no luck. Any help would ne greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve
